 * Comment - I don't know if this can be better sourced but given the Iceland financial crash of the period, it's very possible that her role was more important than this article sounds. Blythwood (talk) 08:09, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
 * well if she had a prominent role it's not appearing in coverage  LibStar (talk) 08:22, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete at best as there's nothing to suggest a better independent notable article, searches only found passing mentions at Books, News and browsers. SwisterTwister   talk  01:34, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Diplomats can be notable if there's enough reliable source coverage of their careers as diplomats to get them over WP:GNG, but are not granted an automatic presumption of notability because diplomat if a satisfactory degree of sourcing is not present. But what we've got here for sourcing is one news article that namechecks her existence in the process of failing to be about her; one press release on the website of another country's embassy to Iceland (thus a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE which cannot confer notability, because it's not wholly independent of the subject); one page which completely fails to verify anything at all about her because it's filled entirely with lorem ipsum-style placeholder text; and one entry in a Who's Who directory, which suggests potential notability but doesn't singlehandedly cover it off if it represents the article's only viable source. Notability may be there in principle — but it hasn't been adequately demonstrated here in fact. Plus, since this one was a Canadian diplomat I have access to the necessary resources to do a deeper media search than just Google — but even in ProQuest's "Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies" database her name garners just five namecheck hits: the most substantive one refers to an artist who cannot be properly verified as being the same person, and the second-best is the very same Ottawa Citizen article that's already here. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if she can be sourced properly. Bearcat (talk) 18:57, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
